Connecting to a Monitor That Has an RGB Input Terminal
You can display computer images on a monitor using the RGB cables.
Note
•RGB signals and component signals input from the INPUT 1 or INPUT 2 terminals can be output to the
monitor.
•For inputting video signals from the INPUT 1 terminal, another RGB cable (commercially available) is
required.
Connecting to an Amplifier or Other Audio Equipment
Audio signals input from equipment connected to each audio input terminal of the projector
can be output to audio equipment.
Note
•ø3.5 mm stereo minijack to RCA audio cable (commercially available) is required for audio input.
•When turning off the power in the case of connecting an amplifier or other audio equipment, first turn off
the power of the amplifier and then turn off the power of the projector.
•By using external audio components, the volume can be amplified for better sound.
•For details on Variable Audio Output (VAO) and Fixed Audio Output (FAO), see page 72.

Turning the Projector On/Off
Info
• English is the factory preset language. If you want to
change the on-screen display to another language,
change the language according to the procedure on
page  89.
▼On-screen Display
Info
•Do not unplug the power cord during projection or cool-
ing fan operation. The cooling fan in this projector contin-
ues to run for about 90 seconds after the projector enters
the standby mode. This can cause damage due to rise in
internal temperature, as the cooling fan also stops.
Power cord
Supplied 
accessoryConnecting the Power Cord
Plug the supplied power cord into the
AC socket on the rear of the projector.
Turning the Projector On
Before performing the steps in this section,
connect any equipment that you use with the
projector. (See 
pages 27—36.)
Remove the lens cap and press  on the
projector or  
  on the remote control.
• The power indicator illuminates red.
• After the lamp indicator illuminates, the projec-
tor is ready to start operation.
• When System Lock is set, the keycode input
screen appears. Enter the right keycode to
start projection. See page  79 for details.
Note
•The lamp indicator illuminates or blinks, in-
dicating the status of the lamp.
Green:  The lamp is ready.
Blinking green: The lamp is warming up.
Red:
 The lamp is shut down abnor-
mally or the lamp should be
replaced.
•When switching on the projector, a slight flicker-
ing of the image may be experienced within the
first minute after the lamp has been illuminated.
This is normal operation as the lamp’s control
circuitry is stabilizing the lamp output charac-
teristics. This does not indicate malfunction.
• If the projector is put into standby mode and
immediately turned on again, the lamp may
take some time to illuminate.
Turning the Power Off (Put-
ting the Projector into Standby Mode)
1Press  on the projector or
 on the remote control, then
press that button again while the
confirmation message is dis-
played, to put the projector into
standby mode.
2Unplug the power cord from the AC
outlet after the cooling fan stops.

Image Projection
Shifting the Lens
In addition to the zoom function and adjustment of projection angle usin\
g the adjust-
ment feet, you can adjust the position of the projection using the lens \
shift function.
This is a useful function in cases such as when the screen can not be mo\
ved.
Adjustable range
The adjustable range is shown below.
Horizontal range: ±15%
Vertical range: +50% (to the upper side)
The adjustable range has limitations even within the range shown above.
The image can be adjusted as shown on the diagram.

Note
•
The adjustable range for the AH-45201 optional lens is different from the shown above. See the AH-45201
owner’s manual for details.

Using the Adjustment Feet
•When the position of the projected image cannot be adjusted with the lens shift function, use the adjustment
feet to adjust the projected angle.
•The height of the projector can be adjusted using the adjustment feet when the screen is located higher than
the projector, the screen is inclined or when the installation site is slightly inclined.
•Install the projector so that it is as perpendicular to the screen as possible.
1While lifting the projector, rotate
the adjustment feet.
•The projector is adjustable up to approxi-
mately 9 degrees.
2Lower the projector, and then ro-
tate the adjustment feet for the
fine adjustment.
•When lowering the projector, be careful
not to get your fingers caught in the area
between the adjustment feet and the
projector.

Correcting Trapezoidal Distortion
When the image is projected either from the top or from the bottom towar\
ds the screen at an angle, the image
becomes distorted trapezoidally.
The function for correcting trapezoidal distortion is called Keystone Co\
rrection.
There are the two types of the Keystone Correction.
1) “GEOMETRIC ADJUSTMENT” for correcting an image designating the corner of the pro\
jected
image
2) “H & V KEYSTONE” for designating the correction of the horizontal and vertical ax\
es
Selecting the Type of the
Correction
